I've been playing Red Dead Online lately. Maybe a month ago I was playing and The Child was evidently watching behind me. I spotted a perfect Eastern Turkey. From the moment we spotted the video game turkey and it entered our lives to the moment I shot it was perhaps 3-5 seconds.

The second I fired, I hear The Child wail "MR TURKEYKINS! NOOOOOOO! I LOVED HIM!" and then for the rest of the day I got a lot of heat for murdering Mr. Turkeykins. Edit: She actually called my mom to rat me out


Cut to yesterday. A month+ later.

The Child: Thanksgiving is soon. We aren't going to eat a turkey are we?
Me: We definitely are. Why?
The Child: Who would do that? Who would kill an animal? What if it's endangered!?
Me: .......
Me: This is about Mr. Turkeykins, isn't it?
The Child: OF COURSE IT IS. He was my best friend and you KILLED him.

A+ trolling

I had a thyroid surgery in March and as it was very similar to what my cousin had, they made me do genetics panel/test to see if there's need to worry about genetic tumour prevalence/other thyroid conditions. Few minutes ago got a call that I have to drive in for in-person visit, which almost surely means they found something (they said they wouldn't bother me if all tests were negative). At least the visit is in 5 hours = won't sit and overanalyze for days, but... Ugh...

Best of luck.

A Chinese crypto person paid $6.24m at a Sothesby auction for another copy of the banana duct taped to a wall.

The winning bidder will receive a roll of duct tape and one banana, as well as a certificate of authenticity and official instructions for installing the work. Prior to the sale, Sotheby’s confirmed to CNN that neither the tape nor, thankfully, the banana are the originals.

The world is such a funny, small place at times.

One of my best friends, who I went to Uni with and lived with for basically two years moved to Belgium ~10 years ago.

In the mean-time I have gone to Denmark, Netherlands and now Portugal.

Somehow we found ourselves in similar day-jobs (both fundraisers for NGOs) albeit in different sectors, me in sport and him in sustainability... but only really see each other once every couple of years.

My workplace might need a specialist in fundraising within a very specific funding stream in the area of sustainability next year... and ofc he is one of the best possible candidates for the role on the entire continent! :laugh: And after 10 years in the same job is actually thinking of leaving anyway.

So Putin just launched an ICBM at Ukraine thankfully with a conventional war head...

Clearly a massive escalation in response to the long range missiles fired into their territory..

The West's alert system must have shit a brick. How do you distinguish a conventional attack from a nuclear one???

Seriously..this tit for tat brinkmanship and pushing of red lines is gonna get us all exterminated..

Russian ICBM Attack On Ukraine 'Would Mark Clear Escalation': EU

Russia launching an intercontinental ballistic missile at Ukraine would mark a "clear escalation" by President Vladimir Putin, the European Union said on Thursday after Kyiv accused Moscow of such an attack.
